hmmmmm.. leaves his wifi open.I think I might drive past his house, because he told everone where he lives, monitor his wifi and then when he logs into facebook I will capture his facebook password. Then I will write about how horrible facebook and Microsoft (I mean Micro$oft) are, how much he hates Obama and no one will know!

There's a semi-active gopher community on sdf.org. I came a little too late to the game for gopher; I used it a little bit in college, but it was mostly dead even then.

Thanks Sig. I will check it out. I have a sweet spot for Gopher as my wife was at the U of MN during the hey day of Gopher and the start of Gopher II. I was mostly digging up things via veronica or archie searches back in college, but did do some mud rooms as well. Yes, I am old and my wife might be younger :-) Lucky me. Back on topic, I did get her to switch from Windows ME to Linux as she hated ME so much.

Hey, when did bash tab-completion of filenames become context sensitive?

I just recently noticed that if I have multiple files with mostly the same
name but different suffixes, tab-completion will give me the right one based
on the command I'm executing.

For example, if I have "foo.odt" and "foo.pdf" in the same directory, and
I type "ls -l foo<TAB>" it will beep and list both files for me ... but if
I type "libreoffice foo<TAB>" it will complete to foo.odt, while if I type
"evince foo<TAB>" it will complete to foo.pdf.

Have been using that for at least 3 years now, I think maybe even 5 years.

What I like even more is that the completion also works for commands, like /etc/init.d/citadel sta[TAB] *bing* might offer you "start" and "status". (Ok, that is not really a giant step for mankind... just an example.) Similar stuff works all around the bash, in Gentoo you need to actively request it for some stuff, though.

So it looks like context sensitive completion has been around for a while.
Why am I just now noticing it? I am immersed in the Linux shell every day.
I'm "soaking in it" right now, in fact, and noticing it's hard to type on
my tablet dock keyboard when all the fingers on my left hand are tingly from
too much guitar playing.

if you run only one app per hypervised cluster, who needs stuff like
memory protection?

That's an interesting approach. Minimal OS stack for an appliance that runs
nothing but a JVM.

I wonder if that model could be extended to native applications. Why have
all those runlevels and authentication systems and libraries and everything
else when all you really need is libc and your application?

It would be very interesting to strip down a Linux to the point where it
just initializes the network and runs your app directly from init. There
are efforts like "jeos" but they're so generalized that they may not be stripped
down to the bare minimum.

LibreOffice online. I guess it is suppose to be for any device but I think it is geared to Chrome/Chromebooks.https://www.rollapp.com/appsAt the bottom center is a small clickable link for "test without signing in".Didn't look at it long enough to see what the difference is between it and google drive.
